AP via Yahoo News ^ | 28 July 2010 | JACQUES BILLEAUD and AMANDA MYERS

PHOENIX – A judge has blocked the most controversial sections of Arizona's new immigration law from taking effect Thursday, handing a major legal victory to opponents of the crackdown.

The law will still take effect Thursday, but without many of the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.

Just heard Peter Johnson on FOX saying (I'm paraphrasing) that the MANDATORY part of checking immigration status is blocked but the LEO CAN ask if he/she thinks there is a suspicion.

There never was...there isn't...a mandatory requirement to check immigration status.

This will only galvanize voters for the GOP.

I hope so, but... we'll see.

IMO, Ft Sumter was a mistake

I meant that figuratively. What I mean is the Gov. should enforce AZ law and fund a true AZ militia which is totally Constitutional. Take back the AZ National Guard too. That is legal also.

“Obama is going to wish he lost this decision.

This will only galvanize voters for the GOP.”

Frankly I’m sick and f___ing tired of the concept that we win somehow, by losing.

Yeah, the voters may get mad and throw the bastards out,
but what evidence do you have that the GOP will roll back
any of the madness that has already been put in place?

I’m just glad that I’m 52 and not 22. I won’t have to live for 50+ years under Left-wing tyrants and despots.

There are some victories here. From the ruling:

Therefore, the Court cannot and will not enjoin S.B. 1070 in its entirety, as certain parties to lawsuits challenging the enactment have requested. The Court is obligated to consider S.B. 1070 on a section by section and provision by provision basis.

Other than seeking a preliminary injunction as to “S.B. 1070,” the United States has not made any argument to preliminarily enjoin and the Court therefore does not enjoin the following provisions of S.B. 1070:

Section 1 of S.B. 1070

no A.R.S. citation: providing the intent of the legislation

Portions of Section 2 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 11-1051(A): prohibiting Arizona officials, agencies, and political subdivisions from limiting enforcement of federal immigration laws

A.R.S. § 11-1051(C)-(F): requiring that state officials work with federal officials with regard to unlawfully present aliens

A.R.S. § 11-1051(G)-(L): allowing legal residents to sue any state official, agency, or political subdivision for adopting a policy of restricting enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law

Section 4 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 13-2319: amending the crime of human smuggling

Portion of Section 5 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 13-2928(A)-(B): creating a crime for stopping a motor vehicle to pick up day laborers and for day laborers to get in a motor vehicle if it impedes the normal movement of traffic

Section 7 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 23-212: amending the crime of knowing employment of unauthorized aliens

Section 8 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 23-212.01: amending the crime of intentional employment of unauthorized aliens

Section 9 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 23-214: amending the requirements for checking employment eligibility

Section 11 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 41-1724: creating the gang and immigration intelligence team enforcement mission fund

Sections 12 & 13 of S.B. 1070

no A.R.S. citation: administering S.B. 1070

Applying the proper legal standards based upon well-established precedent, the Court finds that the United States is not likely to succeed on the merits in showing that the following provisions of S.B. 1070 are preempted by federal law, and the Court therefore does not enjoin the enforcement of the following provisions of S.B. 1070:

Portion of Section 5 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 13-2929: creating a separate crime for a person in violation of a criminal offense to transport or harbor an unlawfully present alien or encourage or induce an unlawfully present alien to come to or live in Arizona

Section 10 of S.B. 1070

A.R.S. § 28-3511: amending the provisions for the removal or impoundment of a vehicle to permit impoundment of vehicles used in the transporting or harboring of unlawfully present aliens

So, for example, as of July 29th you can lose your license to do business in the State of Arizona if you hire illegal aliens. And cities no longer can enforce their proclamation as "sanctuary cities" and prevent their own law enforcement people to fail to cooperate with enforcing immigration law.

But they can’t discriminate on race so if they can’t say you LOOK ILLEGAL, then, by equal protection, they can’t say you LOOK LEGAL either.

I believe that he won’t be running for ‘12. He won’t take a chance of a naturalized citizen who will be refused a place on the ballots and will sue for ALL candidates to prove eligibility and show ALL records, including but not limited to, education records!

0b0z0 and his BARACK Panthers will try everything possible to complete the destruction of the country in the next two years.

If we take the house, defund everything he did and dismantle the communist infrastructure such as Depts. Of Education, Energy, Housing and the EPA.

Remember; don’t let a crisis go to waste. The problem is, would our elected reps. have the stones to do it and kick the Media in the gut?

So, the US and especially Arizona is the world’s bitch now? To be sold off or given to the highest bidder?

They can first determine if the person has committed a felony. No felony, no immigration check.

It only blocks the State from requiring cops to do so.

The law never did require the cops to check status.

I think if Arizona shows some spine, and resists this totalitarianism, that they will set in motion a torrential cascade of positive events.

The anger, support and resolve are there. What is badly needed is a catalyst. to set things in motion.

There ought to be MASSIVE demonstrations tomorrow at Federal buildings and COURTS in Arizona and Washington — they ought to SHUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOWN until the PEOPLE get their way.


Let me know how that works out for you.

LOL — not a believer in public demonstrations? Don’t like civil disobedience?

>>who admits that the Feds don’t have the resources to enforce U.S. immigration law,<<

Yet congress just approved another 50 Billion for a troop surge half way around the world.

Not enough resources? Hell print the resources, that's what the feds are doing to enrich their buddies in the financial/corporate world.

Laws such as the one in Arizona prompts self deportation...they'll go on their own if we just pull the gubbamint tit out of their mouths.

I was given a ticket in the NYC subway for walking from one car to the next. I was taken off the train and held on the platform for a good 20 minutes while they checked me out from birth to that moment.
After this ruling it would seem my rights were violated.

EXACTLY. The GOP are still POLITICIANS, and politicians never voluntarily surrender any power that has been granted them.

Electing Republicans will undo absolutely none of the damage the Democrats have done. NONE.
